PORCELAIN by BETTER THAN EZRA Off the album DELUXE Transcription by Scott Josselyn ([email protected])
This song is pretty easy once you get the hang of the rhythm and Flourishes. In addition to the flourishes that I've tried to notate, They sometimes use Cadd4 as a passing chord in the G/B-C-F/A passages Between the C and F/A chords. I don't hear it in the song but I also Like to throw a Fmaj7/A into the F/A vamps sometimes. There is also Some bass hammer-on played over the F/A chord soemtimes that I couldn't Figure out.
CAPO 1ST FRET !!! (all chord names and definitions are relative to the capo)
HEY, YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF NERVE TO SHOW YOUR FACE 'ROUND HERE. HEY YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF NERVE TO DREDGE UP ALL MY FEARS. WELL I WISH I COULD SHAKE SOME SENSE INTO YOU, AND WALK OUT THE DOOR...
BUT YOUR SKIN... IS LIKE... PORCELAIN...
YEAH YOUR SKIN... IS LIKE... PORCELAIN...
JUST THE OTHER DAY I FELT I HAD YOU BY A STRING. JUST THE OTHER DAY I FELT WE COULD BE EVERYTHING. BUT NOW WHEN I SEE YOU YOU'RE SOMEBODY ELSE, WITH SOMEBODY'S EYES...
AND YOUR SKIN... IS LIKE... PORCELIN... YEAH YOUR SKIN... IS LIKE... PORCELAIN...
.................I DON'T KNOW WHAT IM SAYIN. .................I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE THERE. .................IN THE WORDS, YOU ARE FADING. (lyrics?) .................DO YOU EVEN CAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE............. OOOOHH.................. AHHHHHHHHH....
WELL I WISH I COULD KILL YOU, AND SAVOR THE SIGHT GET INTO MY CAR, AND DRIVE INTO THE NIGHT THEN LIE AS I SCREAM TO THE HEAVENS ABOVE THAT I WAS THE LAST ONE YOU EVER LOVED!
YEAH YOUR SKIN... IS LIKE... PORCELAIN...
YEAH.......
CHORDS: G/B=X20003 Gsus4/B=x20013 G=3x0003 Gsus4=3 C=X32010 Cmaj7=x32000 Cadd4= Am=x02210 Asus2= F/A=x03211 Fmaj7/A=

I wasn't sure which one of you requested porcelain at the end of your Killer inside tab, but here is what i got (i saw them in pheonix on Tuesday And stood three feet from griffin so i could see what he was playing):
Standard Tuning: it might sound good with open chords, tuned to Eb:
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve To show your face 'round here Hey, you've got a lot of nerve To dredge up all my fears
Well I wish I could shake some sense into you And walk out the door
But your skin is like porcelain Yeah your skin is like porcelain
Just the other day I felt I had you by the strings Just the other day I felt We could be everything
But now when I see you, you're somebody else With somebody's eyes
And your skin is like porcelain Yeah your skin is like porcelain
I don't know what I'm sayin' I don't know if you're there In the words you are fadin' Do you even care_______? Oooooooh
Well I wish I could kill you, savor the sight Get into my car, drive into the night Then lie as I scream to the heavens above That I was the last one you ever loved_____
(skin is like) porcelain Yeah your skin is like porcelain Yeah your skin is like porcelain Yeah your skin is like porcelain Yeah___
I hope this was helpful:) --nat
